Abrasive flap wheels are common for finishing complex free-form surfaces due to their flexibility. However, this flexibility results in complex wear patterns such as concave/convex flap profiles or flap tears, which influence the grinding result. This paper proposes a novel, vision-based hierarchical classification framework to automate the wear condition monitoring of flap wheels. Unlike monolithic classification approaches, we decompose the problem into three logical levels: (1) state detection (new vs. worn), (2) wear type identification (rectangular, concave, convex) […]

Continual learning (CL) suffers from catastrophic forgetting, which is exacerbated in domain-incremental learning (DIL) where task identifiers are unavailable and storing past data is infeasible. While prompt-based CL (PCL) adapts representations with a frozen backbone, we observe that prompt-only improvements are often insufficient due to suboptimal prompt selection and classifier-level instability under domain shifts. We propose Residual SODAP, which jointly performs prompt-based representation adaptation and classifier-level knowledge preservation. Our framework combines $α$-entmax sparse prompt selection with residual aggregation, […]

Support Vector Machines (SVMs) rely heavily on the choice of the kernel function to map data into high-dimensional feature spaces. While the Gaussian Radial Basis Function (RBF) is the industry standard, its exponential decay makes it highly susceptible to structural noise and outliers, often leading to severe overfitting in complex datasets. In this paper, we propose a novel class of non-stationary kernels derived from the fundamental solution of the generalized time-space fractional diffusion-wave equation. By leveraging a structure-preserving […]

Three-layer neural networks are known to form singular learning models, and their Bayesian asymptotic behavior is governed by the learning coefficient, or real log canonical threshold. Although this quantity has been clarified for regular models and for some special singular models, broadly applicable methods for evaluating it in neural networks remain limited. Recently, a formula for the local learning coefficient of semiregular models was proposed, yielding an upper bound on the learning coefficient. However, this formula applies only […]

We propose TerraFlow, a novel approach to multimodal, multitemporal learning for Earth observation. TerraFlow builds on temporal training objectives that enable sequence-aware learning across space, time, and modality, while remaining robust to the variable-length inputs commonly encountered in real-world Earth observation data. Our experiments demonstrate superiority of TerraFlow over state-of-the-art foundation models for Earth observation across all temporal tasks of the GEO-Bench-2 benchmark. We additionally demonstrate that TerraFlow is able to make initial steps towards deep-learning based risk […]

A key challenge in enzyme annotation is identifying the biochemical reactions catalyzed by proteins. Most existing methods rely on Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers as intermediaries: they first predict an EC number and then retrieve the associated reactions. This indirect strategy introduces ambiguity due to the complex many-to-many mappings among proteins, EC numbers, and reactions, and is further complicated by frequent updates to EC numbers and inconsistencies across databases. To address these challenges, we present RXNRECer, a transformer-based ensemble […]
